Our man Trent Digmore does Frontier a solid

Trent Digmore It's pretty clear that desk agents in Las Vegas are stealing from the company based on an interaction my houseguest had today. That is all.

Trent Digmore If you don't think stealing is okay, you should check out your Yelp reviews sometime.

Anyway, figure out what charges are discretionary on the gate agent's part, and why the cost might suddenly double when the customer produces a credit card instead of cash. Good luck!

Frontier Airlines No charges are discretionary....the fees are posted on our website, if not paid, the airport will collect them at the airport. Since it was your "houseguest" that flew with us, please share my request to email us with them so we can add it to our email to the station manager for further investigation. We don't accept cash and if fees are paid at the gate instead of online, they're more and increase more at the gate. ^KH

Trent Digmore You may not accept cash, but you have gate agents who do. After the treatment my friend encountered, he has little interest in helping you guys, but I thought I'd do the right thing and bring it to your attention.

I'm curious about the quotation marks you put around "houseguest." Do these not exist in your part of the country?

Frontier Airlines Just quoting your words. Thanks for letting us know. Your information is very vague, but has been shared with the management team in LAS. ^KH

p.s. And for the record, I'm not having sex with my houseguest if that's what you were implying.

Jose Canseco gets NIRP'd

Leading monetary scholar Jose Canseco opined this morning on Twitter:

Negative interest rates in Japan is blowing my mind

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) February 4, 2016

Who is advising Japan? Forcing banks to lend all ¥ will not get 2% inflation. It creates loanees market with even lower rates. Dumb move

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) February 4, 2016

Bank of Japan should call them willie wonka bonds "YOU GET NOTHING. yOU LOSE!"

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) February 4, 2016

... which makes a lot of sense.  And, yes, "loanee" is a word.  Look it up.

Bloomberg TV reporter Joseph Weisenthal (who?) wanted some audience, so he asked Canseco to come on his show.



Ah-ha, Jose! And there is where Weisenthal has you! As you observed this morning, time is now negative money! Do the show!

QE is like herpes

Financial Times:

It is almost like having an illness that is not life threatening but can never be cured. It will not kill us, but we will have to live with it until we die.

How to violate the PAC non-coordination rule

NBC News:

The super PACs supporting Ted Cruz are offering $1.5 million to veterans charities if Donald Trump agrees to debate Cruz one-on-one before the Iowa caucus, heightening the stakes around Cruz's proposal just five days before the Iowa caucus.



"Not only would this be a heck of a debate, but it would also be a terrific opportunity to generate millions of dollars for the veterans," the donors backing the pro-Cruz "Keep the Promise" entities said in a joint statement on Wednesday night.



Cruz laid out a specific proposal to Trump at a rally in West Des Moines on Wednesday evening, telling the crowd his campaign has reserved a venue in Sioux City, Iowa, for 8 p.m. local time on Saturday night. He said 800 seats are available for Iowans — and Trump can choose to do what he likes with half of them.

Kinda makes a mockery of the whole "independent expenditure" thing, doesn't it?

Economics is hard

San Diego Reader:

“Rent control is normally used in locations that experience rental rates much higher than market rate,” [Imperial Beach city manager Andy] Hall added. “That is not to say the City Council may not try to look at some method of rent control, it just may be very challenging until rents rise above market value which is something we need to carefully monitor.”

MorOn.org feels the Bern

MorOn.org, the group formed to support Bill Clinton after he committed perjury and obstruction of justice, has endorsed Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton.

It's a big endorsement from a major Democratic grassroots organization. Though their fundraising has dropped since the Bush Derangement Syndrome years, they still raised and spent more than $10 million last election cycle.  And they have a huge e-mail list.

Good for them.
